“C.S. Lewis: An Appreciation” will feature short scholarly presentations led by faculty from four Alabama universities, readings and performances. The event will focus on the theology and philosophy of Lewis rather than "“Chronicles of Narnia” so children are not expected to attend.

Born in the UK in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis was one of the most influential writers of his day and arguably one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. He was a fellow and tutor of English literature at Oxford University and, later, chair of medieval and renaissance literature at Cambridge University.

He wrote more than 30 books, including “Mere Christianity,” “Out of the Silent Planet,” “The Great Divorce,” “The Screwtape Letters,” and the classic children’s series “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

The event will take place at 7:3 p.m. The Ligon Chapel is located on the Huntingdon College campus.
